Was only $4 when I did it Dale...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

OK here's one - and it's free delivery too - http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Searc... The US conversion to AU makes it $19.17 and it says it's new as well...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

If you scroll down there are others too...

[Dale]

Thanks Brenda. Will look at it more when I get the other thing I want sorted.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No worries:)

I also had a quick look on the Brotherhood site but they have nothing. Amazon have lots under $6 but they are kindle, shame you don't like digital books Dale :-/

[Neko]

Dale, if i can ask why don't you use an ereader?

[Marianne]

wow, they are expensive! I just had a look on bookfinder.com, found that one from Abebooks that you saw, Brenda, that's the cheapest one they list.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

They most certainly are Marianne!!!

I don't like reading on a screen Laura. I like a paper book.

[Lesley]

I thought a book I loved was called 'Letifah's Gift' by Graham ? (I think... It involved an expat going back to Zim after his (?) mothers death, and something about the legacy to the house keeper.. Anybody know which one this could be, as I was hoping to see if the author had written something new.
I am new here , transferred from Shelfari, but keen to find like minded ex pats, who LOVE Eban Venter eg.

[Marianne]

Lesley, there's a thread for questions like this, someone here will know what the thread is called (Brenda?) and someone there might be able to help you....

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

This is the thread you need Lesley

See, I knew someone would know! Thanks, Phrynne

I live in outback qld, 245 klms from Tvl, and our rural library system is amazing. I log on and search for a book, if its in the catalogue, I reserve it. It eventually ends up at Charters Towers Excellsior library, where they send me a 'collect note'..Our twice a week postie picks them up, and brings them to my front door, and collects the ones for return. If the book is not in the main catalogue, (Brisbane) , there is a tab to 'suggest' it for purchase.. Eventually, etc...

[Veronica ⭐️]

Don't you just love outback Australia. There is no way the postie would delivery your library books in Sydney.

The mail contractor will deliver our books and anything else we want collected, ie chemist, foodworks, and only charges $3 a box.. I get 8-10 books at a time.. also $3 for the return box of books ..GREAT VALUE!! Especially as I can reserve up to 20 books, and also request the Brisbane Library to buy ones they don't have, and then send them to my library at Charters Towers.

Today I received my Assassin's Creed Syndicate Rook's Edition which comes with an Art Book...Now does this actually qualify as a book that should be listed on GR? I did a quick look through and I couldn't find it.
It's not the type of book you'll find in a book store as it's specially made for the Limited Edition game versions.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Does it have an ISBN Laura?

[Neko]

That's what I looked for this morning and couldn't find one which kind of puzzled me but then I thought maybe due to the fact it's not sold without the game then it's less likely to be owned by tuns of people?

So, no it doesn't. But it does say it was designed by Amazing15.com and it was created by Titan Books - A division of Titan Publishing Group Ltd

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Without an ISBN I'd say it's not classified as a book...but perhaps if you go to the Librarians group and pose the question, someone with more knowledge would be able to help you:)

[Neko]

Okay..thanks for the advice :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hope they can sort it for you:)

[Sally906]

You could also go to the Titan books web page and see if they have an isbn in their on line catalogue

[Neko]

Thanks Brenda, me too :)
Oh. nice suggestion Sally, never would of thought of that actually :D

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

If they have Laura, put it in here and I'll set it up for you:)

[Marianne]

LOL, I think someone a bit dyslexic added this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... it says expected publication date 2103, how old will the author be by then?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good grief! And no one has noticed it until now Marianne!!! No details either - I'll check it out:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Not much I could do as it appears it's a short story which was in the "New Yorker" - so no ISBN or cover pic, not much of anything really! Probably not really considered a book if the truth's known!

[Marianne]

So you fixed it? It now says 2013, as I imagine it should have all along.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes I changed it to 2013...that's as it should have been:)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

That's funny!

[Marianne]

and to answer my own question, at least 107 years old

I went hunting around Titan Books website but found nothing...So, I guess it's not really a 'book'..lol

Dale wrote: "Thanks for your help. I just checked on Booko, Brenda and book depository are cheaper than some of the others. One Aussie co, wants $36 per book! Will probably go with The memory House series. Need..."

Phrynne's suggestion is a good one, Dale but libraries generally won't ask for new fiction. It's worth a shot though. I'm like you, I don't enjoy e-reading. Good luck!

I'm sorry Michael, I can't see any information about the book, no ISBN or page count. It says for Playstation 4, XBox one, PC... can you link to the actual book page please? Thanks.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Michael:)

Here you go Laura - I used the cover pic of the book that was already in the system:)

The Art of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate by Paul Davies

[Neko]

Ohh i got excited for a minute but that's not the book i have..lol i saw that one but it's not the same..super similar....Mine is about 50pgs n no slip case.

Actually the original picture linked in Michaels post is the cover of what i own...but tge one linked at titans page is the 100+ page one with all the fancy stuff.

Ahah..I'm sorry this is a pest :(

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh that's no good Laura:( Sorry! No other book there that I could see...

[Neko]

It's ok Brenda :) But thanks to both you n Michael for helping me out..i did another google search n even places selling it don't list an ISBN either...to show you guys exactly what i have follow this link: http://www.videogameshelf.com/?p=3262

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No worries Laura:) Thanks!

[Dale]

How disappointing. Thought I'd get more Bette Lee Crosby books while The Reading Room has a 40 percent sale on. Even with shipping costs it seemed okay. Unfortunately they won't accept Paypal from overseas. That's a sale of a few books they just lost. Sad.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

You serious Dale??!! Paypal is cash - anywhere! Like Jetstar had fees on paying with Paypal too! Crazy!

[Dale]

I agree. And if they won't take Paypal I won't deal with them. I will get my books elsewhere.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Fair enough too!

[Neko]

I've never used that website before...But I take it they use PayPal in general?

[Dale]

Laura wrote: "I've never used that website before...But I take it they use PayPal in general?"

For those in US only apparently, Laura.

[Neko]

That is utterly stupid then! PayPal is an international thing and ONE reason it works so well and gives people freedom to buy overseas as well.
Yep, I'd be taking my business elsewhere as well, Dale!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Happens to me every time I try to buy toys in the UK for my English grandchildren. Not just Paypal but credit cards too. You get right to the end and then it says you cannot pay from overseas.
